Star Soldier R And Critter Round-Up Hit The USA Today

CRR was what I was hoping for.

SSR... not-so-much. I wanted Gyrostarr more. Looking fwd to Reviews for both.

I will d/l both. But not today. Only have enough points for SSR. The rst of mah moneyz is goin towards Wii Fit...

Hopefully we ARE going to get Dr. Mario next monday. But nowadays you're not 100% sure of anything anymore.

i don't want either of these.
GIVE ME DR. MARIO!

Anyone downloaded either? Need impressions!

Considering SSR as an impulse purchase

@6: Watch some videos of SSR on the Nintendo Channel (Prob go live at 9AM like the games) That will give you a better look at it.

Also theres only a 2 minute mode and 5 minute mode, but the score you get within those minutes are recorded to WFC servers.

I still refuse to buy any other WiiWare games until Dr. Mario is release and I know I am not the only one. If they want thier third parties to get my dollar give us some first party support first. I don't buy thhat Nintendo is 100% behind WiiWare either or they would have released a first party title. I wouldn't doubt that they hold it back from release in the US with it's huge fan base and package it for retail to make an extra buck.

i'l wait for the review for star solder r, just to see if it has more than two levels

These releases totally blow man. I'm guessing these lackluster VC and WW releases are due to the release of Wii Fit. My question is, why? If Wii Fit is sold out already through pre orders, how could anything else released infringe on that? I suppose you can look at it from the opposite end and assume that so many people will be caught up in the Wii Fit hype train that anything else would just be white noise. sighs Maybe next week things will get better... it feels like I've been saying that forever. (in reguards to VC anyway)

@Big=Sexy

But see when you have people like me who can't jsut blow cash on anything we want we will boycott the rest of WiiWare until Dr. MArio comes out so release it we can buy it and get it over with and then we can spend money on other WiiWare titles like I said I know for a fact I am not the only one and that in itself will keep money out of the third party WiiWare pockets. Plus I am not gonna spend money on any game that lacks lasting appeal and replay value.

@Others And honestly I fail to see a lack of shooters it seems thats all that has came out this year.

Well I think this is due to Wii Fit coming out on Wednesday. Europe doesn't have any good releases to look foward to from NIntendo until Brawl is finally released.

I could careless about Dr. Mario but be happy its going to come out next Monday.

i doubt i'll be downloading anything this week.... here's to dr. mario next week!

@ChocoDK If I knew for a fact we were getting Dr. Mario next week I'd be happy the problem is we already got <zzzzzD by nintendo when the Nintendo Channel video said May 12 and then this week they still fail to release it whats to say they are gonna continue holding it back is what I'm saying I've been told next week for 2 weeks already not to mention they whole wait for it on the VC to start with.

I have nothing particularly against either of these games, but I've only bought LostWinds so far, and these two aren't exactly high up on my must-have list.

But I might give them a shot somewhere down the line.

@Nfamous209:
Dude, I totally agree with you. I refuse to buy any WiiWare game until Dr. Mario is released. The same applies to the VC. Stop giving us garbage Nintendo or you will never get our money. I refuse to try anything new because I did that last year and was ripped off a lot of times and also because of the way Nintendo keeps giving us trash and expects us to buy it. Give me and the rest of America something good and I'll buy it.

Everyone keeps saying Dr. Mario is coming out next week, but even if Nintendo announced it, I'll only believe them once it's actually downloading on my Wii.

I wanted Dr. Mario more. . .heck I even wanted Bomberman more('tis a shame it won't be out for a while DX) but I'm interested in SSR so I went ahead and downloaded that. Pretty good for small bursts of fun. Hopefully next week we get Gyrostarr and Dr. Mario!

I can't wait till these games are released in Europe! But Wii-ware games are getting released every 15 days in the Uk! Hate wating!

Well then Dazza, I obviously misread the article. I thought this was what we were getting. Looking again, we're getting Toki. So I'm chuffed at that, because it looks mint

crap X3 but all i need for now is DYC and FFCC:MLAAK anyway

@Dazza
Just realized that. Oh, that's hella funny! Sneaky ******.

Oh, about the yes/back thing, it's why I own SM 64.

@Demon212: It could have been alot worse... (Cough) Crusin' USA.

Why all the fuss over Dr. Mario? Seriously? DR. FRIGGIN' MARIO? In the pantheon of puzzle games, I think Dr. Mario ranks a serious "meh." It's not bad by any means, I certainly enjoyed the NES original, but it's not so amazing that other games should be "boycotted" as some people are doing just because they have to wait one more week for it. Obviously, I haven't played the WiiWare incarnation, but I haven't read anything that suggests to me that it's going to be the mind-blowing be-all-end-all extravaganza of video gaming fun that many people seem to be assuming it will be. I can think of about ten other Nintendo IP's I'd rather see get WiiWare ports than Dr. Mario. We, the consumers, ultimately decide if WiiWare fails or succeeds by how much we are willing to give third party titles a fair shake. Some of them might surprise you.

@Dazza
You just took me for a ride on the lol-er coaster. So now that Critter Round-Up has been downloaded, how is it?

I've been having a terrible day... ALL day, and just for that last kick in the cajones, Nintendo doesn't even have the decency to give me Dr. Mario! That was literally the last chance I had to salvage a good day. Fine, Nintendo! Fine! I'll just play SMB3 forever. I'll beat it for the fourth time in a week, or maybe Mario 2? Hmm? How about Pop? Want me to try to shave those 7 minutes off my Advanced time to have my name plastered on people's screens all around the world? How could you possibly expect me to play any other game for even a second longer! Even great games that have only been out for mere days are stale. How could you not see that N? Brawl sucks! You expect me to get more than two months out of a game? Ha! (Everything after cajones was a mockery of other's bitching. Actually the part about Pop and SMB3 are true. I'm an obsessive gamer)

@Clayfrd - You really need to get out more. Go pick up Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection. (Do NOT get Dream Pinball 3D!) If you get it from Target, it's only $19.99. I guarantee you'll have fun, even if you're not a huge fan of pinball. Worst case, you only spent $20, which compares favorably to the cost of the VC games.

Now if you end up trusting me on that and find that it's tons of fun, then go get a copy of Zack and Wiki. As long as you don't mind exercising a few brain cells, you'll like it.

@Dazza
It looks really boring, but you're right, better not jump the gun and say it's bad until Paul's review. Who knows, underneath that dirt there might be some gaming gold.

Trust me guys, Critter Round-Up is a good game for what it is. 8/10 for me.

I'd love to review it, I mean, give you impressions on it, Hilanderous, if you like. And yes, Multiplayer is where the game shines.

I got this for my sib but I was really taken by it.

@Dazza
Thanks, but truth be told, I never really wanted to download it anyway. I was just wondering since you downloaded it by accident.
